What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Father's Office appeared in the "With Bacon" episode (S1E3), which featured the restaurant's Office Burger, its signature dish. Father's Office is a small chain of gastropubs in Los Angeles County; the first location opened at 1018 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, and Esquire called the Office Burger one of the best burgers in the world, according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-08-15). The restaurant describes itself on its website as "Your neighborhood bar. Just better," pairing craft beer with a chef-driven food menu. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the restaurant's website (fathersoffice.com) live, listing current Santa Monica and Culver City locations along with an online ordering widget and gift cards, though the page's copyright notice still read 2022. Google's business listing for the Culver City location at 3229 Helms Ave marked the restaurant operational as of the 2026-09-08 check.
